Debug iLogic Code - Free Alternative to Visual Studio

[johnster100]

Hi,

I debug my iLogic code within Visual Studio, this works very well. 

However, some of my colleagues do not have a license for Visual Studio (due to licensing cost). Are there any free / open source alternatives that can be used instead of Visual Studio?

thanks,

John

Visual Studio Community is free.

How do you "debug" iLogic in VS?

You use straight VB in iLogic?

I build addins and did breakpoint and debug in IV with VS Community.

I use "Logger.Info" in iLogic to "debug".

Hi,

you are not allowed to use Visual Studio community for business purposes so we cannot use this.

I use this to debug in visual studio:

It's not really that restrictive:

Based on that I don't think we would be allowed to use it as we would be classed as an 'Enterprise'.

thanks again,

John

Good luck finding anything free that can do debugging on that level.

Also without security risk and will get pass company IT.

I'll say the only choice is get management to paid for licenses.

All the codes you're developing is already company property.
